Singapore – At the 70th Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, Tencent Marketing Solution (TMS) unveiled its joint business partnership with dentsu.

Ethen Zhang, Tencent Marketing Solution’s deputy general manager of channel sales, shared at the event’s ceremony that they will be harnessing dentsu’s comprehensive strengths and global network resources, and capitalize on the synergies of both their ecosystems. 

“Together, we aspire to offer our clients more enduring and higher return on investment solutions,” he said. 

The partnership will concentrate on four core areas: integrated marketing solution development; copyrighted content cooperation; marketing technology and measurement; and charity and social responsibility.

Dentsu will leverage its resources and expertise in creative, media, and customer experience and capitalize on the Tencent ecosystem to create a platform for sustainable growth for its clients.

Tencent’s ecosystem incorporates a variety of platforms such as Tencent Video, Tencent Sports, Tencent Games, among others, supported by a robust distribution network. Concurrently, dentsu boasts a rich content portfolio and copyright configuration, including animation, cartoons, and eSports. The partners will be exploring potential collaborations in areas such as copyright cooperation, content introduction and expansion into global markets, as well as joint marketing and operations.

Furthermore, by amalgamating Tencent’s measurement and data product, RACE, with dentsu’s profound insights across a multitude of markets and industries, the alliance will facilitate collaboration in marketing measurement, offering a more comprehensive and scientifically grounded perspective to their clients.

In 2022, dentsu launched its ‘2030 Sustainable Development’ plan, which strongly aligns with Tencent’s vision of ‘Tech for Good’. The two companies have agreed to employ their respective resources and strengths to also foster sustainable development alongside their partners.

On June 20th, Zhang together with Rob Gilby, APAC CEO of dentsu, formally inaugurated the partnership by jointly stamping a scroll inscribed with the Chinese characters ‘Lian Meng’, symbolizing ‘Union’. The exchange of ‘Dunhuang’ artwork ornaments – symbols of ‘heritage, innovation, technique, and responsibility’ – marked the commencement of the strategic partnership.

At the ceremony, Gilby shared, “In today’s hyper-competitive and customer-centric world, we need to know the most about customers and harness innovation and resources to continue to manage and meet expectations while also driving growth for business. Today, we are honoured and delighted to be strategically aligned with Tencent, a leader in China to shape the customer experience of the future and cultivate long-standing brand loyalty and trust.”

CEO of dentsu China, Deric Wong, also stated, “Consumers demand quality choices in today’s digitally-savvy market and dentsu’s strategic partnership with Tencent teams us together – leveraging innovations, resources and our leading business positions to help brands predict, plan and move forward for what’s next. At dentsu, we think global and act local, to understand each market better. Collaboratively with Tencent’s unparalleled Internet value added services in China, we look forward to create tomorrow’s experience today.”

Maxxie Qi, dentsu cooperation lead of the channel sales department at TMS, remarked, “We eagerly anticipate fully leveraging dentsu’s robust capabilities in content, creativity, media, and consumer experience within Tencent’s ecosystem. Our aim is to deliver more sustainable and integrated solutions to our global clientele.”

Remnants of colonialist movements still exist today, and one global news destination has decided to put its foot down–in the most modern approach possible.

With a fusion of both intelligence and creativity, Vice World News together with its creative agency Dentsu Webchutney from the House of Dentsu in India has not only captured the general public with its provocative ‘The Unfiltered History Tour’ campaign but has also ensnared the creative industry to dominate Cannes Lions, the prestigious award-giving body, for Dentsu Creative India to ultimately be named ‘Agency of The Year’ – the first-ever win for an agency from India. 

So how did Dentsu Creative India do it? What has been the secret formula for such recognition of this scale?

The Secret Sauce

Amit Wadhwa, CEO of Dentsu Creative India, conversed with MARKETECH APAC and let the cat out of the bag. You’d be surprised that the key ingredient that made them stop people in their tracks and look is not something of lustre and extravagance, but that Wadhwa says, none other than being armed with a strong idea. 

‘The Unfiltered History Tour’ is an immersive campaign which brings viewers into what seems like any other tour of the British Museum–only that it’s anything but that. Dubbed as an ‘unofficial tour’ of the European fixture, audiences are taken into the real and authentic narrative, through Instagram filter and immersive audio, behind each artefact such as the Rosetta Stone of Egypt, the Parthenon Marbles from Greece, and Hoa Hakananai’a of Rapa Nui–told straight by the people from countries the precious pieces have been taken from.

“The strength of ‘The Unfiltered History Tour’ [lies] in the origin of the idea, which is colonialism and how the rulers of the past have written their own version of artefacts; the version which is being depicted at the British Museum,” said Wadhwa.

A kick-ass idea or concept is not enough though, Wadhwa says in today’s time, an idea must always be viewed through the lens of technology and to find how it can be nurtured through the capabilities of innovative digital mediums. 

“The other strength of this idea is how technology has been so seamlessly integrated into its execution. It strongly brings such a rich experience that you almost feel as if you are part of the same era when the artefacts were in the country of origin. In short, a strong idea coupled with integrating technology in it and ensuring it comes alive across mediums effectively is what makes it so much more special.” 

The key then is ‘Modern Creativity’, which the agency defines as the kind of work that “creates culture, changes society, and invents the future.” 

Mobilising the winning formula

Of course, the strategic skeletal framework would only be the beginning and what would come after is the real work. 18 months and a combined effort of over 100 people–Wadwha revealed are what it took to make the ‘idea’ for ‘The Unfiltered History Tour’ “so much more special.” 

And true enough–it had all been worth it. Every aspect of the multimedia project – its podcast component, social activation, and experience overall – had been deemed as the crème de la crème of this period’s creative range. For the Radio & Audio, Brand Experience & Activation, and Social & Influencer categories in Cannes Lions, the Grand Prix, which is the highest of honours, went to Dentsu Creative India. 

The idea for the campaign originated from a prior VICE documentary called ‘The Empires of Dirt’ which is built around the narrative of twisted tales of the origin of artefacts from the colonised world. Eventually, what would radiate more than the ingenuity and creativity of its execution–is the genuine movement behind the ‘The Unfiltered History Tour’. The campaign was birthed, most of all, to ignite into people a certain ‘condemnation’ that is literally long overdue and embolden them to think about what can be done about modern colonialism today.

Wadhwa shared that truth be told, the project had been created without the knowledge of the British Museum; so the welcoming words in the official video that a new tour is around “but the museum doesn’t know about it yet,” were in fact not just an artful message. 

“The whole idea of this project is to put the truth on the table and provide visitors of the British Museum with a fair understanding of the real stories behind the artefacts. Our aim is to spark a movement against the storage of artefacts from other countries in the British Museum, and that these should eventually be returned to the countries to which they belong.”

Wadhwa described the project as a “very bold” and “possibly uncomfortable” idea, which was expected to ruffle a few feathers, but that the mission was clear from the beginning, and that the Dentsu and VICE teams ensured to stay true to it and never dilute it. 

A simple ‘idea’ for a radical movement 

The CEO of the multi-awarded agency does not intend to be privy to their ‘winning strategy’, and loud and proud reveals that it’s all about marrying an uncomplicated but brilliant idea with that of the groundbreaking impact of digital mediums. 

“To be effective, every idea must first be a powerful one, which is either rooted in a profound insight or has the power to shape society or even change the future,” Wadhwa going back to the concept of ‘Modern Creativity’. 

He added, “However, given how technology has revolutionised the way one may truly experience an idea, we must make full use of [technology] and ensure that we do full justice to the idea using it.”

He said that the idea becomes strong when it can be brought to life across several mediums, “wherever the audience is present.”

“When all the mediums come together and talk, they create a stronger influence over the target audience and hence, is extremely important.”

Truly, what we’ve seen here is a convergence of old history and history in the making. Beyond the strategies and the elements of the winning campaign, it has been evident that the magnet that pulled everything together is the agency and the news authority’s bravery to tackle, no matter how uncomfortable, the hard things that matter. 

The power is in being grounded by an idea that can flourish into something bigger, and which would be realised through effective teamwork and collaboration to impart work that will prove its worth more than the sum of its parts. 

Ultimately, Wadhwa advises brands, “Once you have [an idea], make full use of all plausible mediums, while fully embracing the prowess of technology to bring the idea to life. That is when we will have a winner at hand.” 

Cannes, France – The final day of the Cannes Lions 2022 festival ended on 25 June with Dentsu Creative India bagging the ‘Agency of the Year Award’, making the first Indian agency to win such an award in the history of the creative awards festival.

Dentsu Creative India was recognised for their efforts in the campaign ‘The Unfiltered History Tour’ alongside media brand VICE. The campaign focuses on a multimedia experience that takes viewers and listeners to the true historical nature of stolen artefacts at the British Museum.

The campaign also won a Titanium Award, given out to those campaigns that are ‘breaking new ground in branded communications with provocative, boundary-busting, envy-inspiring work that marks a new direction for the industry’.

Speaking of the recent win, Ajay Gahlaut, group chief creative officer for India at Dentsu Creative, said, “Winning the ‘Agency of the Year’ is an emotion I cannot even begin to describe. When I used to watch other agencies win the title I often wondered if I ever would get that same honour. What they say is true. Dreams do come true! I’m over the moon with the Titanium win along with the hat trick of Grand Prix and a whole lot of other metals.” 

He added, “Not just me I think no one in the entire Indian ad industry has been part of such a huge haul of Lions ever before. And I do believe we are the first full-service Indian agency to win the title of Agency of the Year. I doff my hat to the entire team responsible for the Unfiltered History Tours.”

Meanwhile, Amit Wadhwa, CEO for India at Dentsu Creative, commented, “We are undeniably proud to be associated with a campaign that takes top honours on a global platform. This indeed fuels the fire of passion and commitment in the team that has relentlessly worked on it.
